Partial cystectomy resolves post-micturition paroxysmal hypertension caused by urinary bladder paraganglioma.
Case Report (n=1)
After a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a 35-year-old patient developed paroxystic hypertension accompanied by typical symptoms. These symptoms occurred exclusively after urination. A urinary bladder paraganglioma was discovered using iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-123 MIBG) scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after the detection of an abnormally elevated plasma metanephrine measurement. A partial cystectomy was performed which cured the symptoms. Paragangliomas, defined by their extra-adrenal localization, have slightly different characteristics than pheochromocytomas, leading to specific care and follow up.

Vesin et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Urinary bladder paraganglioma causing paroxysmal hypertension (n=1). Partial cystectomy was evaluated on Resolution of paroxysmal hypertension symptoms. Partial cystectomy cured post-micturition paroxysmal hypertension in a 35-year-old patient diagnosed with a urinary bladder paraganglioma via I-123 MIBG scintigraphy and MRI.
